why are you not a mod yet?Carlos, the "imaginary patch" is out there in the form of aofe or your personal patch. We've seen the reception...
The only thing we can hope for is a minimalist approach. Even wall, pali, xbow, lswords are divisive topics. The only thing ppl seem to agree on from noob to pro are huns, mayans, vike and az.
Still that minimalist patch addressing them would be a huge improvement over 1.0c. Let's focus on getting support to make it real first. Talking about lswords, palisade and xbow is too far fetched. Let's have a short term goal and see what happens. If ppl embrace it for a few months, then we can discuss further.
